February 11, 201511 yr Agreed. I mean, depending upon the extent of his health issues. Hard for us to have an informed opinion on that. Might be safe to assume that the reason he hasn't signed yet is because the teams see something really ugly.

Might be safe to assume that the reason he hasn't signed yet is because the teams see something really ugly. Apparently he was all set to sign on January 24th with a mystery team, and then it all fell apart and his agent put out a release that said he has chosen not to sign with anyone just yet, and is focusing on his recovery and gaining strength in his arm. Not something you want to hear out of a guy who has had two TJS

February 11, 201511 yr One of two things. One, people don't think he is healthy, or two, he hasn't gotten an offer he likes and is happy with the progress he's making and thinks he can put on a pretty good showcase when he is closer to being big league ready and get more money than.
February 12, 201511 yr QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Feb 12, 2015 -> 01:29 PM) Wasn't this guy the Sox wanted to get from Atlanta a few years back? yes. KW wanted him bad in the rotation.
February 14, 201511 yr This would be a great signing... Lets face it, Noesi is no slam dunk for next year.

February 14, 201511 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 14, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) That's like having a wet dream of the girl who would be coveted if she lost 25 pounds... I am not ripping you though, this is interesting. lolol that's hilarious. But yeah, I think getting him and having a couple rehab starts in AAA and possibly replacing Noesi would be ideal. Is he going to be ready for ST or was it more mid season for him? I always get Beachy and Medlan's TJ surgeries confused in when they are going to be back.

February 22, 201511 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 09:59 PM) Dang. this is the sox trying to save money, how much profit does the owners need.
February 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 22, 2015 -> 05:34 PM) this is the sox trying to save money, how much profit does the owners need. What does this even mean? Him not signing with the sox does not equal Reinsdorf being a penny pincher. The guy is coming off his second tommy john surgery

The guy is coming off his second tommy john surgery coming off the 2nd surgery is one thing, and a major thing at that. but come on, jr is not going to spend more than he has too. he would have been a great pickup, a 1 yr and out type of pitcher. that is if the club doesn't want a multi yr kind of pickup right now.

February 23, 201511 yr QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Feb 23, 2015 -> 03:06 AM) Maybe Beachy wanted nothing to do with the Sox. then again, maybe no one really knows, b/c no mention of rumors were swirling around him and teams who might have been interested.

This entire offseason has been the Sox spending way more than anyone anticipated.
